    Being very aware that our seasons can be opposites here, for today's easy finish the sentence chatter, feel free to make it seasonally appropriate to wherever you are now
    "You know it's [Summer/Winter?], when ....." - feel free to make your own hashtags as well!

    for me, today I'm going with
    "You know it's Winter when... you have 2 pairs of socks plus slippers on and you're wondering if you could walk in 3 pairs or if that's just ridiculous"

    You know it is summer when you risk sunburn even at the bus stop.

    You make tea or coffee not because you're thirsty but just to warm you up.
    The cats actually want to sit on your lap.
    Hubby keeps putting the aircon to 24C to thaw.

    Agree 100% about the tea at the moment! We dont have any cats, but having the bird all fluffed up on my shoulder is almost like an extra layer of scarf!

    Summer in Greece is beautiful, if you can spend all day at the beach. We are still "trapped" in the city, but at least we have an air condition.

    For me, Summer means:
    I wonder how little I can wear without scaring the neighbors :giggle, I spend most days with a smile on my face, I get to go barefoot anytime I want, I don't have to dress in layers, I love Mondays again, I can leave the house anytime I want or not leave the house at all, everything is blooming and green and beautiful, no 5:00am alarm, I am a happier person overall...so many awesome things.

    You know it's summer when you don't need the central heating on anymore.

    You know it's summer when you see the visitors showing up in your little community for the festivals and holidays and camping! When the boaters are out on the river. When the huckleberries are ready to pick. When the white daisies are blooming EVERYWHERE!!

    You know its summer when the air conditioner is on and I have on a tank and a sweat shirt and a blanket. Always cold...unless I go outside and then I am way to hot.

    You know it's summer when you have on one thin gown and it's still too much clothing. #nakedandafraid (me naked, everyone else afraid)

    You know it's summer when you peel off a layer of skin just opening the car door. #didnotneedthatlayeranyway

    You know it's summer when you enjoy the green and flourishing back yard by watching it through the sliding glass doors so you can stay in the air conditioning. #glassisawondermaterial

    You know it's summer when you can stay up late and sleep in. #netflixbinges #craftingatnight #readingtilallhours

    You know it's summer when you can go swimming in your friends' pools. #toomuchupkeep #letsomeoneelsepayforthosechemicals

    Sounds like your town population doubles over summer! I hope you like white daisies too!

    You know it's summer when you sweat through your running clothes in the first mile and consider running in the bare minimum... in the country... where no one can see you! #summersweating #countryrunningaintforjudging

    You live in Greece? How wonderful! I went there in July of 2010. Oh my gosh - the heat was oppressive though! I couldn't believe how hot it was! We got up at 6 am to go to the Acropolis and it was already over 100 degrees! ( I think the bus said 38 celsius - which is about 100, right?)

    We also went to Crete and saw the Palace of Knossos - the cicadas were relentless, but at least that day there was a nice breeze!!

    Acropolis is the most amazing place on Earth, and the worst place to visit in summer. So many people, and unbearable heat, providing that you're lucky enough to actually go there and no one is on strike!
    Sometimes I swear it's over 120 degrees, but the media "hide" it, so that people won't panic.
    Knossos is amazing too. They say that the Palace was the actual Minotaur's labyrinth. I was a teen when we visited Crete and I didn't appreciate such things then!

    They were on strike. We arrived at the port, and by about 2 pm they were having protests in the streets. We saw the Olympic Stadium, and while we were there we saw them setting up for something that we now know was a protest. They also had one in front of the City Hall, I think? I was scared the entire time until we got back on the ship. I think it colored my view of the city...

    All I can say is that I dreamed of being at the Acropolis my entire life, but as we were driving up the hill, I SERIOUSLY ( and I mean serious conversations with myself! LOL ) considered staying in the bus.

    I had heard that as well. Also that when it was first discovered, the first archaeologist that put things back together got it wrong, and they are re assembling it how they believe it should have been. Had you heard anything about that?
